Product Description
From Scottish pen company Namisu comes the Orion: a clipless fountain pen with a seamless construction and a clean, industrial aesthetic. It’s precision-machined to exacting tolerances from a solid piece of pure titanium and complete with a stonewashed finish that brings out the attractive gray-brown tones of the material Read More
Got mine. very nice design and very well built. However, this is one heavy pen, and the nib performance (i got the M nib) leaves much to be desired. used for 3 days, but out of my rotation now.
This will be my first FP, so bear with me. What if I want to change ink types? Do I flush out a used cartridge and refill using a syringe? If so, what do I need to flush it with? Any recommendations on inks that typically work well with these nibs?
CalebKYoutube is your friend. Search "flushing fountain pen" Unless you leave the ink for months and it dries up. water is just fine. Do not mess with dish soap or ammonia under normal circumstances. Personally I flush the pen when I change ink. In terms of mixing ink, be careful. Put a couple of drops together on a plate and see if it reacts.
Flush the pen. Safest.
mpechnerReact, what do you mean by react, I have never seen anything suggesting. I've written some explosive letters before, but now I could have even more fun?
If this is the same as a Kaweko nib, then I definitely need Fine. Medium was just to broad and wet for me on my Kaweko.
Too bad Fine is not an option in this drop!
It it were, I'd be purchasing.
K.T.NHonestly, I go with the EF Bocks. Even the fine Bocks are on the wet side. Which is not a bad thing; on Clairefontaine or Tomoe River paper I wouldn't have it any other way. However, for less FP-friendly paper it's a bit too much.
Too bad there is no Titanium nib option. I already have the aluminum version with a steel nib (a really good machined pen). A full titanium version of this pen has been on my backlog for a while now.
@Liz any chance you can make that happen?
I can't resist... still, will the cap post at the end of Orion pen while I write with it? Thanks . ORION pen seems like a keeper to me in any case .
Secondly what efforts are required to disassemble that nib section ?
seastar53I'm not sure that it's explicitly designed to post, though it does stay on just fine for me. My main concern would be marking up the end of the barrel over time since it's metal on metal, nut with this particular finish I'd imagine it wouldn't be too noticeable for a while.
